BlueCoin with Smartmic1 distribution

Posted on April 09, 2018 at 14:30Hey,I'm testing the way BlueCoin is working with FP-AUD-SMARTMIC1 distribution. I used this guide to connect and start working: http://www.st.com/content/ccc/resource/sales_and_marketing/presentation/product_presenta...

LPS25HB reading of temperature registers

Hello;I now test the LPS25HB pressure sensor with abnormal temperature reading. The actual ambient temperature is 30 degrees, but the read-out data TEMP_OUT_H (2CH) = DAH, TEMP_OUT_L = 50H. Slowly changing the ambient temperature, temperature reading...

Has any Arduino code been written for the VL53L1X?

Posted on March 22, 2018 at 11:52I recently purchased the VL53L1X P-Nucleo kit with extra expansion boards for evaluation of the VL53L1X and suitability of integration into one of our upcoming products. We are exceptionally happy with the performanc...

How to understand zero "Magnetic sensor offset" of LSM303AH?

LSM303AH's datasheet specifies "Magnetic sensor offset" equal to 0 mgauss. This requires offset cancellation to be enabled. How should this value be interpreted? Is this zero offset feasible only in some particular conditions? Then, what offset can b...

How do I correctly read the LSM6DSL FIFO timestamps?

I'm doing research using the LSM6DSL to collect acceleration and angular rate data at 833 Hz from an array of IMUs. We are using the on-board FIFO so we can read back data blocks of data from each IMU. While reading back the acceleration and angular ...

Animal Activity detection and classification using MEMS Sensors

Hello, we are working on a product, to detect, classify and monitor the activity of a cattle, using a custom built ear tag, that will among other things have a MEMS sensor. I am an expert at embedded development, but dont really have any background o...

LIS3MDL sometimes freezes for around 63 seconds

We are using the LIS3MDL in conjunction with a microcontroller (STM32F051).In most cases, the sensor responds correctly to our initialization and provides its data with around 1.068 kHz.However we sometimes experience that the sensor freezes for arou...

Hello, I work on a product with LSM303AGR and STM300 module. The problem is : when the LSM303AGR goes to sleep, it works. After, I try to get EnOcean module to sleep, then the LSM303AGR consume 500µA. Any idea?

The SPI works well. I can asleep the sensor but when I try to asleep the EnOcean module, I see that the sensor consume near 500µA. I have put two pull down on SDI/SDO and SCL and two pull up on the CS_ACC and CS_MAG.

LSM6DSL Clock and sampling rate

We have an LSM6DSL sensor working in fifo mode. We are running it at 833 Hz but with the measured data, we are getting ~ 819 Hz. I am trying to investigate what the cause is. Can you tell me how accurate the internal clock is? If set properly, shall ...
